$699!

This is super cool but come on already. It’s an IKEA box with one game in a tablet.

dead_pixels1020d ago

To be fair, this one actually has two games as it's bundled with The Simpsons Bowling. The price is steep, though.

scoltar1020d ago (Edited 1020d ago )

Yeah, the price of these is getting ridiculous. I absolutely love arcade games, and was excited when these first came out. But I knew I didn't have space for all of these, nor did I want to spend that money on something with only a couple games on it. I waited around and got a Final Fight machine from Walmart for $99, then later found a Space Invaders there for $75. For that price I just got it because of the native vertical screen. I modded both with a cheap PC and can play thousands of arcade games on them now, and that's great! When it gets to this level of pricing, might as well start looking into buying a custom arcade machine kit, or an xArcade machine. Or even, build your own for super cheap if you're handy with stuff like that!

What are you talking about! Is not a console! Is not for playing. It's a collector piece and the whole point is nostalgia, to display it, to see it and enjoy the memories of a time long gone... That said: not for me.

anubusgold1020d ago

LOL i paid 500 dollars for a Neogeo cabinet with 50 neogeo games that had like samurai showdown games, metal slug, king of fighters, world heroes games, baseball , golf, and football games, and many other SNK games this is stupid lol

dead_pixels1020d ago (Edited 1020d ago )

That’s an unbelievable deal. I dropped $600 on my four-slot 15 years ago and all I got with it was Fatal Fury lol. At the time, that was a bargain.

dead_pixels1020d ago

Ah, that makes much more sense. I’ve got about 50 MVS carts, so when I thought you were talking about getting that much original Neo hardware & software for such a steal I gotta admit I felt a part of me die!

anubusgold1019d ago

@dead_pixels LOL they make a arcade stick with alot of those games built in as well.

I have the TMNT cabinet I wish Sega could get a license to bring out the Moonwalker cabinet I use to love playing that arcade game along with Willow from Capcom.

ZeekQuattro1020d ago

Sega and MJ dont mix unfortunately. I'm nervous about the upcoming Sonic collection because of it. Anyway I'd also like to see Moonwalker make the return. I only ever played the Genesis version as a kid. Only heard about the arcade version a few years ago when I saw a GIF of 4 MJs running around with different colored suits. Lol

Knightofelemia1020d ago (Edited 1020d ago )

Moonwalker on Genesis and Master System are a different ball game compared to the arcade port the Genesis edition has I have seen zombies dance to thriller and I have seen zombies just dance to regular music. In the arcade you collect Bubbles his pet chimp you become Robo Jackson. In the console port on Genesis you just have the monkey humping your head pointing like a blind man to the kids you missed rescuing. The arcade port should have been the one ported to the Genesis over the side action check the 2D car and blow up port.

I would love to get the Afterburner and Outrun Moving Cabinets!

I'd pay 700 for those

CDbiggen1020d ago

Played this with two others recently using mame. It was hard going, and not just because of the difficulty - it's really repetitive and gets old fast. Only jump and hit, no other moves you can pull off. We just slogged through to the end because we'd started. Also bear in mind we had nostalgia on our side too.

Deathdeliverer1020d ago

It’s funny that the website is heypoorplayer, but they are telling you to hurry and secure your $699 overpriced emulator. This should be on heydisposablefundsplayer.

dead_pixels1020d ago (Edited 1020d ago )

For what it's worth, the name IS a reference to a very expensive Neo Geo title.

Deathdeliverer1020d ago

Right, it’s just a coincidence.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast17h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows16h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear2116h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning7712h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger12h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
